BEGINNING of Coal Mining,

The first record we have of coal is
about 800 years before the Christian
era. Coal was used as fuel in England
as early as 852, and in 1884 the first
charter to dig for it was granted by
Henry III to the inhabitants of New
castle-on-Tyne.

wATTERsoN's REASONING.
Wherein He Differs Materially
With Hon. Ignatius Donnelly.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
The assault upon William Shakes
peare, his life, and the writings he did
not write, recalls a similar assault made
by 1gnatius DOnnelly some years ago
upon Elihu B. Washburne. Curiously
enough Mr.. Washburne survives. So
may Shakespeare. Some idiot started in
similar pursuit of Sir Walter Scott the
other day. But ScOtt's actuality made
sufficient answer; and the wOuld-be
sensationalist was driven back into his
hole. Nevertheless these things make
one tired.
There are books to prove and to dis
prove everything. Once good argu-
ment was made to establish the fact
that Napolean BOnaparte had never
lived. Did Herbert Spencer write Dick
ems novels? Who was the author of
Junius' letters; who struck Billy Pat
terson? Who? But what is the use?
Ii everything that is, is not, and moth
ing that has been, ever was, why any
thing? The true solution is to abolish
the Interrogation point altogether.
Far be it from any purpose of mine,
either here or now, to lay any of the
name of William Shakespeare is at
least secure. 1t was not born to die. 1t
is immortal. Even Donnelly cannot
efface it from the tablets, or the title
pages, or the memory of men still living.
But there is i'll the attack upon Shake
Speare's moral character a meannesS
which ought to be rebuked. The man
is downtown far down we shall never
know, since no one dares to open
his grave-dead as julius Caesar. He
cannot appear in his own defense. I'm
der such state of case, to call him a
thief, a libertine and drunkard is
downright bigamy. l should not think
it safe for Mr.. Donnelly to visit Rowan
county, Kentucky, after jumping in this
way upon man who lies horS de COM
bat and has no friends. Craig Toliver
is not there, it is true. But what would
be the matter with Cook Humphrey?
Perhaps Bacon did write the plays of
Shakespeare. Perhaps he didn't. That
is not the important part in this contro-
versy. The real questions are: Ibid
Shakespeare drink?'' and evil the
coming man use wine?' You see, it is,
at bottom, one of the new issues to be
sprung by the Prohibtionists, of whom
Mr.. Donnelly is leader. If it can be
clearly shown that Shakespeare drank,
argal, he was a thief, argal. he was a
debauchee, andy a parity of reason
lng-the coming man will not and shall
net use wine! Don't you see?

AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.
1t is an erroneous idea of rom antic
minds that early youth is the season of
deep and passionate emotion. Physi-
clans and the wise men of the Catholic
church, however, know that the emo
tiOnS of women in our American climate
are most fully developed between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. The
church guards during that time with
of celibacy, knowing full well that they
are more susceptible to temptation than
at an earlier and more undeyelOped age.
1t would seem, then, from purely
scientific standpoint, that an attachment
formed after twenty-five would be far
more intense and more enduring than
one formed in the unripe period of inn
mature youth.
Physically our American women do
not fully develop until the age of TWEEN
ty-five. Given healthful mode of life,
employment for the mind and sufficient
outdoor exercise, and they are far more
attractive at that age than at eighteen.
Happy is the man who wins the heart of
such woman, with her ripened beauty,
her developed emotions and her wise
appreciation OF the really worthy things
of life.

fifteen years my husband was spared to

And so, after all, the question re-

must solve for herself.

A WONDERFUL WE'LL.
What is Called 1.-THE Fountain CT

What is Called 1.-THE Fountain CT
Youth" Down in Texas.
A writer in the Omaha Bee describes
one of the wonders of Texas as follows:
About ITO miles east of Ell Paso, near
Sierra Blanca, on the line of the Texas
and Pacific railroad, there is strange
phenomon that has just come to public
notice. The authority for the state
mentS about to be made is ex-Gov.
John c. Brown, of Tenness e, receiver
of the Texas and Pacific, who visited
this city few days ago, accompanied
by several officials of the road, fnclud-
ing Division Superintendent Judy, in
whose jurisdiction the phenomenon is
located. Gov. Brown and Super=.
intendent Judy told the story to one or
two persons, here, and it has just come
to the reporters ears, About three years
ago the Texas and Pacific Railway COM
pany undertook to sink an arteSian
we'll few miles below Sierra Blanca,
which is hamlet ninety-five miles east
of Ell Paso. The workman put the pipe
down about 600 feet, when suddenly an
underground cavern was struck, the
drill dropping about feet and cur
rent of air rushed up the pipe. Drilling
ceased and the well was abandoned, the
WV wv VI PiPN Al UliC SlOuliuy
giving connection between the surface
of the earth and the strange subterranean
cavity a quarter of mile beneath.
The phenomenon did not at that time
attract much attention of any one suffi-
GENTLY interested to investigate. Re-
Gently, however, Superintendent Judy's
attention was called to it, and his per-
sonal examination and inquiries have
developed facts and testimony about the
wonderful well. Gov. Brown stopped
to see it on his way here. Not
many people live near the well, but
those who do reside in the neighbOrhood
are thoroughly acquainted with it ever
since it was abandoned, three years ago.
The people near by have been in the
habit of going and sitting about the well
in summer to enjoy the cool, invigora-
ting air that rushes up the pipe. One
of the strangest things is the fact that
the currant of air GIBBS and flows like
the ocean tides. From 10:15 p. m. a
current of air rushes out of the pipe
with sound that resembles the noise
made by locomotive "blowing off
steam," and so loud that it can be heard
for forty or fifty yards. At 1915 p. M,
the overflow of air ceases and strong
suction sets in which lasts for the next
twelve hours, this ebb and flow continu-
ing day after day, and it has been OBJ
served by horsemen whenever they get
